Pattern for Crochet Blinged Beaded Bracelet

Crochet Blinged Beaded Bracelet, a free pattern by City Farm House Studio. Bernat Satin with beads.

Last month I posted the Easy Skinny Ladder Scarf, and here is a modified version blinged up as a bracelet.  It is a great item for a gift, or as something special for yourself.  I used Bernat’s “Satin” yarn (find it here), but any yarn can work.  I was looking for a smoother yarn with shine to make the bracelet look more refined.  Different weights of yarn can also be used to get a thinner or wider bracelet.  Just adjust the hook size and beading numbers accordingly.  Another great thing about this pattern is that with everyone’s wrist being a bit different, just like everyone’s gauge, this pattern doesn’t have a set gauge.  Work with your own yarn preference and gauge to make the length work for you.

Crochet Cotton Candy Popcorn Cowl

Crochet Cotton Candy Popcorn Cowl. Buttercream Thick and Thin yarn.

Recently I have started spinning my own yarn from wool, and of course it looks like beginner yarn.  After plying I found that some areas are thick and chunky, while others were thinner than a DK weight yarn.  I thought crochet would be a great way to highlight the weight differences and make the item really textural.  So, I asked myself what I would like out of wool would be chunky and thick.”  A cowl!  After living in Michigan for nearly 20 years (originally from Texas) I have finally come to realize that no matter how warm your coat is, if your feet and head/neck are cold it means you are cold.  So, a thick and chunky cowl made out of wool would be a great item to have for this winter.

Crochet Easy Skinny Ladder Scarf

Crochet Easy Skinny Ladder Scarf

This is a great crochet project to use up some of those single skeins we all have around.  It is made with Red Heart Soft (find it here) yarn in Really Red, which makes a great soft fabric out of worsted weight yarn that is comfortable to wear next to the skin.  It is 100% acrylic so no itches if you are sensitive to wool.  But, if you have something that is thicker or thinner, and you want to do a different material content then use it!  Just adjust the hook size accordingly up or down to be able to make your desired scarf.  Gauge is not as extremely important on this pattern since you just keep going till you either A) run out of yarn or B) have it as long as you like.  Yay – no gauge swatch!
